 ### Setting Up
 
-First, ensure you are using ECMAScript modules (ESM) and TypeScript in your project for best compatibility. Here's how to import and initialize SmartBucket in a TypeScript file:
+Begin by importing the necessary classes from the `@push.rocks/smartbucket` package into your TypeScript file. Create an instance of `SmartBucket` with your storage configuration:
 
 ```typescript
 import {
@@ -49,264 +57,223 @@ const mySmartBucket = new SmartBucket({
   accessKey: "yourAccessKey",
   accessSecret: "yourSecretKey",
   endpoint: "yourEndpointURL",
-  port: 443,            // Default is 443, can be customized for specific endpoint
+  port: 443,
-  useSsl: true          // Defaults to true
+  useSsl: true
 });
 ```
 
-Make sure to replace `"yourAccessKey"`, `"yourSecretKey"`, and `"yourEndpointURL"` with your actual credentials and endpoint URL. The `port` and `useSsl` options are optional and can be omitted if the defaults are acceptable.
+Replace `"yourAccessKey"`, `"yourSecretKey"`, and `"yourEndpointURL"` with actual data specific to your cloud provider.
 
-### Creating a New Bucket
+### Working with Buckets
 
-To create a new bucket:
+#### Creating a New Bucket
+
+Creating a bucket involves invoking the `createBucket` method. Note that bucket names are unique and follow the rules of the cloud provider:
 
 ```typescript
 async function createBucket(bucketName: string) {
   try {
-    const myBucket: Bucket = await mySmartBucket.createBucket(bucketName);
+    const newBucket: Bucket = await mySmartBucket.createBucket(bucketName);
     console.log(`Bucket ${bucketName} created successfully.`);
   } catch (error) {
     console.error("Error creating bucket:", error);
   }
 }
 
-// Use the function
+createBucket("myNewBucket");
-createBucket("exampleBucket");
 ```
 
-Bucket names must be unique across the storage service.
+#### Listing Buckets
 
-### Listing Buckets
+While the library uses cloud-provider capabilities like AWS SDK to list existing buckets, `smartbucket` is aimed at simplifying content management within them.
 
-Currently, SmartBucket does not include a direct method to list all buckets, but you can access the underlying client provided by the cloud storage SDK to perform such operations, depending on the SDK's capabilities.
+#### Deleting Buckets
 
-### Working with Files
+To delete a bucket, simply call the `removeBucket` function:
-
-#### Uploading Files
-
-To upload an object to a bucket:
 
 ```typescript
-async function uploadFile(bucketName: string, filePath: string, fileContent: Buffer | string) {
+async function deleteBucket(bucketName: string) {
-  const myBucket: Bucket = await mySmartBucket.getBucketByName(bucketName);
+  try {
-  if (myBucket) {
+    await mySmartBucket.removeBucket(bucketName);
-    await myBucket.fastPut({ path: filePath, contents: fileContent });
+    console.log(`Bucket ${bucketName} deleted successfully.`);
-    console.log(`File uploaded to ${bucketName} at ${filePath}`);
+  } catch (error) {
-  } else {
+    console.error("Error deleting bucket:", error);
-    console.error(`Bucket ${bucketName} does not exist.`);
   }
 }
 
-// Use the function
+deleteBucket("anotherBucketName");
-uploadFile("exampleBucket", "path/to/object.txt", "Hello, world!");
+```
+
+### File Operations in Buckets
+
+SmartBucket offers a unified API to execute file-based operations efficiently.
+
+#### Uploading Files
+
+Upload a file using the `fastPut` method, specifying the bucket name, file path, and content:
+
+```typescript
+async function uploadFile(bucketName: string, filePath: string, fileContent: Buffer | string) {
+  const bucket: Bucket = await mySmartBucket.getBucketByName(bucketName);
+  await bucket.fastPut({ path: filePath, contents: fileContent });
+  console.log(`File uploaded to ${filePath}`);
+}
+
+uploadFile("myBucket", "example.txt", "This is a sample file content.");
 ```
 
 #### Downloading Files
 
-To download an object:
+Download files using `fastGet`. It retrieves the file content as a buffer:
 
 ```typescript
 async function downloadFile(bucketName: string, filePath: string) {
-  const myBucket: Bucket = await mySmartBucket.getBucketByName(bucketName);
+  const bucket: Bucket = await mySmartBucket.getBucketByName(bucketName);
-  if (myBucket) {
+  const content: Buffer = await bucket.fastGet({ path: filePath });
-    const fileContent: Buffer = await myBucket.fastGet({ path: filePath });
+  console.log("Downloaded content:", content.toString());
-    console.log("Downloaded file content:", fileContent.toString());
-  } else {
-    console.error(`Bucket ${bucketName} does not exist.`);
-  }
 }
 
-// Use the function
+downloadFile("myBucket", "example.txt");
-downloadFile("exampleBucket", "path/to/object.txt");
-```
-
-#### Deleting Files
-
-To delete an object from a bucket:
-
-```typescript
-async function deleteFile(bucketName: string, filePath: string) {
-  const myBucket: Bucket = await mySmartBucket.getBucketByName(bucketName);
-  if (myBucket) {
-    await myBucket.fastRemove({ path: filePath });
-    console.log(`File at ${filePath} deleted from ${bucketName}.`);
-  } else {
-    console.error(`Bucket ${bucketName} does not exist.`);
-  }
-}
-
-// Use the function
-deleteFile("exampleBucket", "path/to/object.txt");
 ```
 
 #### Streaming Files
 
-SmartBucket allows you to work with file streams, which can be useful for handling large files. 
+For large-scale applications, stream files without loading them fully into memory:
-
-To read a file as a stream:
 
 ```typescript
-import { ReplaySubject } from '@push.rocks/smartrx';
+async function streamFile(bucketName: string, filePath: string) {
-
+  const bucket: Bucket = await mySmartBucket.getBucketByName(bucketName);
-async function readFileStream(bucketName: string, filePath: string) {
+  const stream = await bucket.fastGetStream({ path: filePath }, "nodestream");
-  const myBucket: Bucket = await mySmartBucket.getBucketByName(bucketName);
+  stream.on('data', chunk => console.log("Chunk:", chunk.toString()));
-  if (myBucket) {
+  stream.on('end', () => console.log("Download completed."));
-    const fileStream: ReplaySubject<Buffer> = await myBucket.fastGetStream({ path: filePath });
-    fileStream.subscribe({
-      next(chunk: Buffer) {
-        console.log("Chunk received:", chunk.toString());
-      },
-      complete() {
-        console.log("File read completed.");
-      },
-      error(err) {
-        console.error("Error reading file stream:", err);
-      }
-    });
-  } else {
-    console.error(`Bucket ${bucketName} does not exist.`);
-  }
 }
 
-// Use the function
+streamFile("myBucket", "largefile.txt");
-readFileStream("exampleBucket", "path/to/object.txt");
 ```
 
-To write a file as a stream:
+#### Deleting Files
+
+Delete files with precision using `fastRemove`:
 
 ```typescript
-import { Readable } from 'stream';
+async function deleteFile(bucketName: string, filePath: string) {
-
+  const bucket: Bucket = await mySmartBucket.getBucketByName(bucketName);
-async function writeFileStream(bucketName: string, filePath: string, readableStream: Readable) {
+  await bucket.fastRemove({ path: filePath });
-  const myBucket: Bucket = await mySmartBucket.getBucketByName(bucketName);
+  console.log(`File ${filePath} deleted.`);
-  if (myBucket) {
-    await myBucket.fastPutStream({ path: filePath, dataStream: readableStream });
-    console.log(`File streamed to ${bucketName} at ${filePath}`);
-  } else {
-    console.error(`Bucket ${bucketName} does not exist.`);
-  }
 }
 
-// Create a readable stream from a string
+deleteFile("myBucket", "example.txt");
-const readable = new Readable();
-readable.push('Hello world streamed as a file!');
-readable.push(null); // End of stream
-
-// Use the function
-writeFileStream("exampleBucket", "path/to/streamedObject.txt", readable);
 ```
 
-### Working with Directories
+### Directory Operations
 
-`@push.rocks/smartbucket` offers abstractions for directories within buckets for easier object management. You can create, list, and delete directories using the `Directory` class.
+Leverage directory functionalities to better organize and manage files within buckets.
 
-To list the contents of a directory:
+#### Listing Directories and Files
+
+Listing contents showcases a directory’s structure and file contents:
 
 ```typescript
-async function listDirectoryContents(bucketName: string, directoryPath: string) {
+async function listDirectory(bucketName: string, directoryPath: string) {
-  const myBucket: Bucket = await mySmartBucket.getBucketByName(bucketName);
+  const bucket: Bucket = await mySmartBucket.getBucketByName(bucketName);
-  if (myBucket) {
+  const baseDirectory: Directory = await bucket.getBaseDirectory();
-    const baseDirectory: Directory = await myBucket.getBaseDirectory();
+  const targetDirectory = await baseDirectory.getSubDirectoryByName(directoryPath);
-    const targetDirectory: Directory = await baseDirectory.getSubDirectoryByName(directoryPath);
-    
-    console.log('Listing directories:');
-    const directories = await targetDirectory.listDirectories();
-    directories.forEach(dir => {
-      console.log(`- ${dir.name}`);
-    });
 
-    console.log('Listing files:');
+  console.log('Directories:');
-    const files = await targetDirectory.listFiles();
+  (await targetDirectory.listDirectories()).forEach(dir => console.log(dir.name));
-    files.forEach(file => {
+
-      console.log(`- ${file.name}`);
+  console.log('Files:');
-    });
+  (await targetDirectory.listFiles()).forEach(file => console.log(file.name));
-  } else {
-    console.error(`Bucket ${bucketName} does not exist.`);
-  }
 }
 
-// Use the function
+listDirectory("myBucket", "path/to/directory");
-listDirectoryContents("exampleBucket", "some/directory/path");
 ```
 
-To create a file within a directory:
+#### Managing Files in Directories
+
+Additional functionalities allow file management, inclusive of handling sub-directories:
 
 ```typescript
-async function createFileInDirectory(bucketName: string, directoryPath: string, fileName: string, fileContent: string) {
+async function manageFilesInDirectory(bucketName: string, directoryPath: string, fileName: string, content: string) {
-  const myBucket: Bucket = await mySmartBucket.getBucketByName(bucketName);
+  const bucket: Bucket = await mySmartBucket.getBucketByName(bucketName);
-  if (myBucket) {
+  const baseDirectory: Directory = await bucket.getBaseDirectory();
-    const baseDirectory: Directory = await myBucket.getBaseDirectory();
+  const directory = await baseDirectory.getSubDirectoryByName(directoryPath) ?? baseDirectory;
-    const targetDirectory: Directory = await baseDirectory.getSubDirectoryByName(directoryPath);
+
-    await targetDirectory.createEmptyFile(fileName); // Create an empty file
+  await directory.fastPut({ path: fileName, contents: content });
-    const file = new File({ directoryRefArg: targetDirectory, fileName });
+  console.log(`File ${fileName} created in ${directoryPath}`);
-    await file.updateWithContents({ contents: fileContent });
+
-    console.log(`File created: ${fileName}`);
+  const fileContent = await directory.fastGet({ path: fileName });
-  } else {
+  console.log(`Content of ${fileName}: ${fileContent.toString()}`);
-    console.error(`Bucket ${bucketName} does not exist.`);
-  }
 }
 
-// Use the function
+manageFilesInDirectory("myBucket", "myDir", "example.txt", "File content here");
-createFileInDirectory("exampleBucket", "some/directory", "newfile.txt", "Hello, world!");
 ```
 
 ### Advanced Features
 
+The library’s advanced features streamline intricate cloud storage workflows.
+
 #### Bucket Policies
 
-Manage bucket policies to control access permissions. This feature depends on the policies provided by the storage service (e.g., AWS S3, MinIO).
+The library offers tools for maintaining consistent bucket policies across storage providers, assisting in defining access roles and permissions.
 
-#### Object Metadata
+#### Metadata Management
 
-Retrieve and modify object metadata. Metadata can be useful for storing additional information about an object.
+Easily manage and store metadata by using the `MetaData` utility:
-
-To retrieve metadata:
 
 ```typescript
-async function getObjectMetadata(bucketName: string, filePath: string) {
+async function handleMetadata(bucketName: string, filePath: string) {
-  const myBucket: Bucket = await mySmartBucket.getBucketByName(bucketName);
+  const bucket: Bucket = await mySmartBucket.getBucketByName(bucketName);
-  if (myBucket) {
+  const meta = await bucket.fastStat({ path: filePath });
-    const metadata = await mySmartBucket.minioClient.statObject(bucketName, filePath);
+  console.log("Metadata:", meta.Metadata);
-    console.log("Object metadata:", metadata);
-  } else {
-    console.error(`Bucket ${bucketName} does not exist.`);
-  }
 }
 
-// Use the function
+handleMetadata("myBucket", "example.txt");
-getObjectMetadata("exampleBucket", "path/to/object.txt");
 ```
 
-To update metadata:
+#### File Locking
+
+Prevent accidental writes by locking files:
 
 ```typescript
-async function updateObjectMetadata(bucketName: string, filePath: string, newMetadata: { [key: string]: string }) {
+async function lockFile(bucketName: string, filePath: string) {
-  const myBucket: Bucket = await mySmartBucket.getBucketByName(bucketName);
+  const bucket: Bucket = await mySmartBucket.getBucketByName(bucketName);
-  if (myBucket) {
+  const file: File = await bucket.getBaseDirectory().getFileStrict({ path: filePath });
-    await myBucket.copyObject({
+  await file.lock({ timeoutMillis: 600000 }); // Lock for 10 minutes
-      objectKey: filePath,
+  console.log(`File ${filePath} locked.`);
-      nativeMetadata: newMetadata,
-      deleteExistingNativeMetadata: false,
-    });
-    console.log(`Metadata updated for ${filePath}`);
-  } else {
-    console.error(`Bucket ${bucketName} does not exist.`);
-  }
 }
 
-// Use the function
+lockFile("myBucket", "example.txt");
-updateObjectMetadata("exampleBucket", "path/to/object.txt", {
-  customKey: "customValue"
-});
 ```
 
-#### Cloud Agnostic
+#### Trash Management
 
-`@push.rocks/smartbucket` is designed to work with multiple cloud providers, allowing for easier migration or multi-cloud strategies. This means you can switch from one provider to another with minimal changes to your codebase.
+SmartBucket enables a safe deletion mode where files can be moved to a recycling bin, allowing for restoration:
 
-Remember, each cloud provider has specific features and limitations. `@push.rocks/smartbucket` aims to abstract common functionalities, but always refer to the specific cloud provider's documentation for advanced features or limitations.
+```typescript
+async function trashAndRestoreFile(bucketName: string, filePath: string) {
+  const bucket: Bucket = await mySmartBucket.getBucketByName(bucketName);
+  const file: File = await bucket.getBaseDirectory().getFileStrict({ path: filePath });
 
-This guide covers the basic to advanced scenarios of using `@push.rocks/smartbucket`. For further details, refer to the API documentation and examples.
+  // Move the file to trash
+  await file.delete({ mode: 'trash' });
+  console.log(`File ${filePath} moved to trash.`);
+
+  // Retrieve the file from the trash
+  const trashFile = await bucket.getTrash().getTrashedFileByOriginalName({ path: filePath });
+  await trashFile.restore();
+  console.log(`File ${filePath} restored from trash.`);
+}
+
+trashAndRestoreFile("myBucket", "example.txt");
+```
+
+### Cloud Agnosticism
